Messina Accommodations – Sicily Villa & Apartment Vacation Rentals

Stretto di Messina is the narrow body of water which separates the sickle-shaped harbour of Messina on the island of Sicily from Villa San Giovanni on the mainland of Italy. From here you can take a ferry – or a bit father south on the mainland, there is a hydrofoil from Reggio Calabria - to Messina. The town of Messina is home to the famous reconstructed Norman cathedral. Surrounded on two sides by a sea, Tyrrhenian on the north and the Ionian on the east – the province of Messina is an ideal place to vacation in Sicily. Looking for villa rentals instead of staying in a hotel? Read the testimonials, look at the pictures and find villa rentals suitable for your holidays.

The beautiful beaches between Capo d’Orlando and Capo Calava are yours to enjoy – a leisurely walk or a swim in the turquoise waters. Stay in a vacation rental with a view of the ocean. Accommodations that are privately-owned vacation rentals offer all the conveniences of home, a more personalized accommodation when compared to staying in a hotel. From Messina, take a hydrofoil or ferry ride to the Aeolian archipelago, with its seven main, ruggedly beautiful, islands. Visit the thermal spas; participate in water sports, and great fishing. Dine at one of the restaurants and visit the numerous beaches: White Beach, Spiaggia Bianca, on the larger island of Lapari, the unique Black Sand Beach, Spiaggia di Sabbia Nera, on Vulcano island, or the Pollar Beach on the island of Salina. On the island of Lipari, there is the Spanish 16th Century castle and the Aeolian Archeological Museum. Stay in an apartment condo rental overlooking the sea, or a villa rental with its own breathtaking views. Browse this ownerdirect.com web-site for accommodations - just perfect for one or two, or large enough to accommodate a family reunion or a group of friends. Choosing holiday home accommodations in a villa rental enables you to prepare some of your meals with a fully-equipped kitchen within a home-like setting.

The town of Tortorici is located a few kilometres away from the sea in a picturesque valley, with some of the buildings placed on the gently sloped mountain. A welcomed retreat from the everyday bustle of big-city life, it is easy to see why many people who emigrated from this beautiful area of Sicily were drawn to surround themselves with the tranquil beauty of nature in their adopted land. The 15th and 16th Century churches signify Tortorici’s deep roots in a culture of faith. The Sunday of the week before the Feast of St. Stephen, the sound of Sicilian bagpipes accompanies the procession dell'Alloro as devotees of the town and of neighbouring villages - carrying laurel branches and trees, some people stopping to greet friends along the way – walk towards the church. At the time of the Festa di San Sebastiano, while church bells are ringing, more than two dozen men dressed in white move in step to the lively music of the brass band as they carry the statute of St. Stephen, placed on two long beams, upon their shoulders. Moving in a circle, they occasionally enter and exit the church. A circle of men, women and children, also dressed in white, gather around them. Beyond this, you will be one of the many people crowding the square, or standing closely to others on the steps of nearby buildings, as you take in the festivities. The music ends; the devotees enter the church as the bells continue to ring. Famous in all of Sicily for the craftsmen who specialized in the casting of bronze bells, this craft is remembered in the Museo dell'artigianato.
